Timber Falls: Critic Reviews

If you think the adults on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader are dumb, wait until you meet this couple.

This lost-in-the-woods thriller actually holds our interest thanks to good performances from the central duo. Everything else in this film is completely bonkers.

Although clearly derivative, the film works hard to assemble its familiar pieces into something that works in its own right.

Not only will you have a pretty good idea from the start what is going to happen to all these 'characters', but, even worse, you will not care when it does. A film so soulless deserves to be confined to DVD hell.

Giglio doesn't quite seem able to decide what his tone is, incongruously mixing goofy redneck humor with harrowing scenes of intense pain, but horror fans should dig it nonetheless

Earns a few points for sheer silliness once Act III rolls around, but you'll have to muddle through a whole lot of familiar tedium to get there. Nice scenery, though.
